Something Monochromatic!

Well, it's Friday already which means there's a new challenge on Stamp Something today! The theme this week is monochromatic and decided to stick with black and white.




The image is, I think, Rubber Romance, and was courtesy of Jilli. It was this image which decided the colour of the card for me! It has been layered onto black and white Bazzill c.s. and did the same for the base of the card. Used some white grosgrain Dovecraft ribbon, a sentiment from Craftwork Cards layered onto black Bazzill c.s., and some sticky gems from Papermania to finish. Must admit, I do like the simplicity of this one!


Sorry I haven't been around but I'm sure you all understand why. Will have some more cards to show tomorrow.....I promise! Make sure you pop on over to Stamp Something and take a look because there's some scrummy candy on offer!

Awesome Jo! I thought about a similar color choice, but didn't have any other dark gray color to go with it, so I ended up with the pink.....that's ok though because I LOVE PINK!! Again, excellent job!

Many Blessings,

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!
